Designed to resemble and artist’s palette, Hermès Beauty unveils its new makeup collection — Trait d’Hermès. As a flash of with and colour, the collection represents a graphic, poetic expression that intensifies the gaze or defines the lips.

The collection celebrates one of the house’s key attributes, colour, in a kaleidoscope of forty shades for the eyes and lips in the form of pencils made from sustainable wood.
Featuring a golden metal cap engraved with an H, the pencil is designed by Pierre Hardy, creator of objects for Hermès Beauty, and showcases the coloured bands like show-jumping poles. The graphic looks is further elevated by gloss lacquer in three colours with the pencil presented to you in a small cardboard box.
COLOUR EYE PENCILS
Water-resistant and suitable for sensitive eyes, the Colour Eye Pencils (S$85 each) uses a formula that produces a rich, creamy texture which delivers a non-greasy finish for an even, buildable line. The firm but silky soft tip is ideal for creating either lines or blocks of colour.

Available in two finishes — matte or iridescent — with a total of 24 colour eye pencils in a number of shades which include Noir Fusain, Brun Bistre, Bleu Nut, Vert Malachite, Bleuet, Violet Indigo, as well as iconic Hermès hues such as Orange Boîte, Raisin, and Or Permabrass.
These colours are simple to apply using either a brush or the built-in smudge to define, accentuate, open up and intensify the gaze. From a fine and precise line to more graphic or blended results, the eye pencil can also be used to highlight the lower lid or waterline.
COLOUR LIP PENCILS
Embodying all the colour families (red, pink, orange and beige) in 16 shades from Rouge Érable to Beige Thé, the Colour Lip Pencils (S$85 each) have a precision pencil tip that makes application easy and controlled, even when it comes to creating an even line.

Colours glide on effortlessly, making it easy for you to outline, define and enhance the contours of your lips or colour them naturally. It can be used for touch-ups, to prevent lipstick from bleeding, or to prolong its hold throughout the day. Their matte finish works naturally with the different finishes of Rouge Hermès lipsticks too.
EYELINER
Combining elegance with function, this new refillable Eyeliner (S$115), designed by Pierre Hardy, pays homage to the tube and metal cap of the cartridge fountain pens.

The soft bristles of the tip form a brush point for drawing a precise and buildable line on the slender side for an ultra fine result, or the flat side to create a thick look. The best part about it is that it does not dry out over time and it is refillable!
This water-resistant, quick-drying and long-wear formula is made with 63% ingredients of natural origin and delivers a clean, even line with a uniform, satin finish in a single stroke.
ACCESSORIES: BLENDING BLUSH
Created by Pierre Hardy and Creative Director of Hermès Gregoris Pyrpylis, the L’estompeur de précision blending brush (S$178) is the latest addition to the Les Pinceaux Hermès collection.
This rounded, compact brush allows for you to have intuitive yet controlled application creating ultra-precise results, especially when blending the line drawn by the eye pencil.
As a true work of art, the brush features a lacquered wooden handle encircled by an elegant green band with bristles that are a blend of natural and synthetic fibres which have been prepared and combed according to a traditional method for incomparable softness.
